NASA’s JWST has captured new images revealing Jupiter’s auroras hundreds of times brighter than Earth’s, caused by complex ...

“Io’s auroras are always present, and it constantly changes brightness, by about 50 percent, over a rotation period of Jupiter,” Roth said. “But it’s always there.” ...

The observation is based on data from NASA's Juno spacecraft, which made a historic low orbit flight over Jupiter's north pole, where the team was able to use their expertise in data analysis to study ...

In the case of Jupiter, many of the electromagnetic waves thrown off by its auroras are x-rays—invisible to human eyes, but key to understanding more about how auroras on Jupiter form.

Jupiter's auroras are among the most powerful in our solar system, and they appear when high-energy electrons stream across the gas giant's magnetosphere and pour into the upper atmosphere to ...

Jupiter's mysterious X-ray auroras have been explained, ending a 40-year quest for an answer. For the first time, astronomers have seen the way Jupiter's magnetic field is compressed, which heats ...

Rare opportunity Jupiter’s orbit and axial tilt with respect to Earth mean that chances to observe the giant-planet’s northern and southern auroras simultaneously are few and far between. Such ...

Jupiter, a the largest planet in the solar system, boasts an aurora with a radiant power of 100 terawatts, or 100 billion kilowatts. It's the brightest aurora in the solar system. Advertisement ...

The Hubble telescope captures Jupiter's auroras back in 2016. J Nichols/University of Leicester/ESA/NASA Auroras appear when charged particles stream onto the upper region of a planet's atmosphere ...
